Blender 2.8 and newer contains a number of HDRi's in it by default for LookDev. I'd like to know how to use them in final renders (EEVEE or Cycles), because quite frankly they appear fantastic.

Jun 8, 2017 · Otherwise blender will use an HDR image that is "built in". For 2.7x To view the image in the 3d viewport enable Display> World Background. Usually HDRi images use an Equirectangular Projection. Think of it a as a huge sphere that completely surrounds the scene.

Jan 8, 2018 · While Blender supports rendering in wide-dynamic range (32bit float) scene-referred files, as of v3.6 Blender lacks the ability to save these in a format most HDR displays and video players will accept as input. You can save OpenEXR sequences from Blender to create a finished HDR video in other software such as DaVinci Resolve.

Dec 23, 2015 · This question is for two use cases: 1. A 3D scene has been rendered and saved as an .hdr (or .exr) file from Blender, and we are compositing it in Blender to a final format of .png (for example) where the whole dynamic range is visible. 2. We have some photos of a subject at multiple exposures and want to composite them into a single HDR image.

Jun 3, 2017 · Starting a few versions ago Blender added support for world preview as viewport background. As a workaround you can use that as sort of a spherical image viewer. It will be obscured by the 3D View interface (grids, cursor and objects), but serves as a basic viewer.

Aug 30, 2019 · I've been using blender 2.8 for past two weeks but I can't use HDRI image as environment if I apply that I'm only getting a color

Jul 15, 2019 · There are 2 easy ways of doing that. In both cases you need to set "Transparent" in Film render properties. Then you can spread a white plane behind the scene (switching off all Ray Visibility Cycles settings except Camera) or use Alpha Over node in Node editor and drop the render result over the white co
